Grace and Beauty Bits All Strung Together

Dear Ones...

Come and take a Sunday stroll with me. There is a rustic wooden bench across the road and around the pond's curve from here. We would find it nestled in tall prairie grasses but sitting along a mown pathway perfect for slipping off our sandals and relaxing bare toes in the soft green.

The butterflies and grasshoppers of late August would join us.

There is already the water-whooshing sounds of geese landing nearbye. Somehow they know these muggy 80s will not last.

Autumn hinges on the horizon.

I want you to drink with me in the beauty of this day, this season right in front of us;

Engaging the worship muscles of our souls and feeding on the LORD's goodness surrounding us!

We will both meet with Monday's newly-birthed motion and demand in the morning, but join me in face-forward entering of the rigorous with our identity in Christ first.

Do you know Kara? I wish we could all be her besties as her amazing journey and platform of faith unfold. Grab some fresh coffee and do a little back reading of her blog. Catch her story and her heart. Watch for and order her book. Pray for her strength and for her people. We will see this woman in glory all wrapped in His embrace, and we will be different here for knowing her story.
